Italians are so puritan purist! In the end they gave up on me. I'm a heathen. I dare to consume oil made from seeds. I eat pasta less than twice a day. I drink tea as much as coffee. I have orecchiette with something other than cime di rapa. I don't have a mama's recipe for artichokes. I laugh when they call noodles Chinese spaghetti. I don't celebrate my birthday by diving into a vat of Nutella. I eat lunch in less than three hours. Obviously I cannot be saved.

HAHAHA!
Oh Italians!
Apparantly the Chinese made spaghetti first. I say the Italians perfected it.

If an Italian is what bilby says, I'm not Italian. :-) ("Chinese spaghetti"?! wtbh? And no nutella since I'm lactose intolerant)

Of course it's all a play on cultural sterotypes (which by-the-way, I find fascinating and amusing though sometimes offensive).
I'm sorry, touched up on my research and I think that everyone knows now, that the Chinese did not invent spaghetti. I didn't think so, and I guess I'm right.

I think the Arabs did. (too lazy to look up, cf. WTBH)
I could never be offended by such a thing. One of my favorite comments on YOW is based on a stereotype:

That's great, Pro. It's along the lines of my dad's poking-fun-at-self joke:
Q: How do you make an Italian stop talking?
A: Make him sit on his hands.

Heeheehee. There's nothing like a few stereotypical jokes in the morning!
Edit: Wait, that sounds a bit mean.
